Nelweld N1500i Third generation inverter technology propels stud welding into the 21st century This new, dependable, and light-weight stud welder is not light in power. From the inventor and trusted leader of stud welding, N1500i is a third generation inverter that Nelson has to offer to the world hungry for such a little giant. This all-digital system has 50% more output power than comparable products in the market. This means it can weld larger studs, weld more studs per minute and drive more cable (up to 100-600 feet*). The friendly user interface with 10 presets, graphic gun and welder status, and bright alpha-numeric displays reduces set-up time, and operator training and error. It sports:

Parallel Silicon IGBT arc power DSP Plus brain power Dual Loop fast reaction arc dynamics Turbo Planar high efficiency transformer Stud Expert database programming of welding parameters based on application conditions Touch Safe operator protection Nonstick Lift adaptive pilot arc ignition Synchro Plunge choreographed current decay and stud advance Nelware self diagnostics, production monitor and embedded weld quality monitor software

Precision control at 60,000 Hz frequency ensures the most stable arc, accurate heat input and highest quality process. Consistent welds are produced, inconsistent plate surface, weld position, gun and cable conditions notwithstanding. Combining control, gas and power in one composite cable provides robustness, reliability and increased up-time in production. Applications

Shipbuilding, industrial, automotive repair and production Insulation pins, threaded studs, refractory anchors, pins Auto-feed hand gun applications, such as wide top, fir tree, threaded studs and trim studs
